Guys i have a character that went from being poor to working class to dirt poor again to hobo level and now he is just working class again.
he is used to being stared at the way people do to hobos and shit but now he's all good now and is basically invisible to the average person.
what would your writing process look like for a character in that sort of situation realizing those stares are gone? (minus his personality, it's not relevant to the question but if i were to say anything he is naive and autistic as fuck (not literally)).
of course, you dont have to reply. that's fine too.

So...I published my first book and it slowly plummeted in the amazon bestseller rankings until it hit 2.6 millionth place. It's clear to me self-publishing like this is out of the question now, so I present you all with a question.

What is the next step? How do I make a career out of writing? I need to find a job and I will be a cashier or retail employee, if I must, but I wish to know if there are any sorts of websites I could go to in order to make money off of my abilities. I can write stories all day if I had clients, but I have not the slightest clue of how to go about this.

I've written on Wattpad before in order to gain a following, but hell, that place was barren as well for my works. I'm not a remarkable writer, just a decent one, but surely there must be something.
